if you give them nice hyperlinks

2.You must be a very good writter :
Your writting skills must be adorable to be a blogger,If you don't know how to write good contents with correct english,i will encourage you to go and learn it or maybe your problem is that you hate writting,i will encourage you to gain some interest because Copy and paste don't work much again unlike before

3.You must have at least a personal email account and most preferably Google mail : An email account is one of the most essential tools to have and why google is most preferable is that you may need a blogger account,you may need google adsense in future,youtube e.t.c.
You users may also want to contact you through electronic mail

4.You must learn to always stay active and online :

6.You need to learn little on php,css e.t.c. codes :
If you employ a designer for your blog and you think you are free to go,you are absolutely wrong!
The person you employ may even sell your blog to another person without even knowing,if you don't know about php,you may not even be able to suggest new features for your blog



7.Be ready to take insults most time :
Don't think your viewers will credit your actions all day,most of the time you will be insulted and replying them with abusive words will not help,learn to be patient and tolerant

9.Read about the history of the engine you want to use :
There are some blog creating engines that are not reputable and reliable,if you work with them,they may just chop your money and in a matter of days their website will be offline,try finding out the history advantages & disadvantages of the engine

webmasters add the remaining.

Nice points but only number 6 is wrong. With wordpress and its themes, you dont need a single line of code.

You're quite right with most of your points - kudos - but your Point 6 may be insignificant/wrong. If you check my signature, you'll see the address to my website. You won't believe that I built it all by myself from the scratch. The only thing I paid for was the hosting. Thanks to Wordpress and in depth research. Contact me if you need one. I'll just charge you for the hosting.

10) Be abreast of media law such as defamation and libel

11) Don’t be too formal – conversations
are friendly and not formal. Don’t
write your posts as if you are writing
an essay.

12) Be 101% sure of what you post...don't post Fallacious story or hype a story (adding maggi and curry) to make it interesting.

You don't need to have a site admin or pay anything to anyone to create and run your blog. Setting up your blog on content management systems like Wordpress is as easy as using Microsoft Word. You choose your hosting platform (ipage is good) and pay for a plan. If you're confused on what you want, you can chat with an ipage customer care agent that'll provide the necessary support to guide you. Plus its cheap as hell. I spent a total of about USD33.87 (about NGN6,000) before the Naira apocalypse. You also don't need coding skills at least for a basic design and layout. Only ensure that your blog design is clean and appealing (white space is good for readability). Remember its all about your content. Don't plagiarize or copy and paste. Originality is golden.

I started my blog on the 12th of Sept 2015. I use Wordpress as my CMS and ipage for hosting and I can't complain. It's been buttery smooth so far. My niche is on IT strategy development for SMEs (post on Mondays) and IT career advisory (post on Fridays). Check my signature for a link to my blog.

PS: I don't copy and paste, "never have, never will"

You may be mistaken,for instance, if you need an alternative counter,you will need to do so.
Those counter owners may even input an adcode into it that will display in it without your consent
